Bolloré Logistics is one of the top 10 transport
and logistics companies in the world. Their
warehousing and logistics facility near Auckland
Airport, New Zealand, has seen significant growth
in recent years and often handles in excess of
2000 items in a day. As a customs-bonded
warehouse, monitoring of all stock movement
and processing is crucial and the current CCTV
operation needed to be expanded in order to
monitor the entire site.
Time to go IP
With footage on the site’s existing analogue
system barely useable, an upgrade was essential.
So Steve Smith, Logistics and Compliance
Manager at Bolloré, turned to Brian Clough
of Auckland Security Cameras, a firm who
specialise in security installations for large
industrial and logistics companies. Brian
chose MOBOTIX cameras for the installation
because their hemispheric technology would
give excellent visibility of the whole premises.
Plus, with military-grade encryption features as
standard, MOBOTIX provides an unrivalled level
of network security, a significant consideration
within the import and export sector.
Maximum coverage for minimum
cameras
A combination of MOBOTIX c25, v25 and i25
hemispheric cameras, along with several of
MOBOTIX’ Dual D15s cameras, provided complete
coverage of the large 6600sqm site. “The system
now gives us full visibility of the warehouse
aisles to protect both us and the customer
should an incident occur. It also provides real
time visibility of work loads,” Steve explains.
Recordings accurately identify every vehicle
and the precise time that it enters and leaves
the facility, along with all loading and unloading
activities. These are time-stamped to create a
visual verification of every operational process.
For security reasons, there is no direct access
to the cameras over the internet, a time server
is used instead.
MOBOTIX is a good network citizen
For the installation the existing IT infrastructure
was used wherever possible, reducing the amount
of new cabling needed. This was simple to imple-
ment because, according to Brian, “MOBOTIX is
such a good network citizen.” The decentralised
technology means the cameras process and
compress the recordings themselves, requiring
no central server and therefore not burdening the
network. Indeed, in situations where a network
may experience higher loads at certain times
of the day, MOBOTIX cameras can even wait
until a specified time to send their footage.
MxManagementCenter (MxMC)
simplifies installation
MxManagementCenter by MOBOTIX made
configuring the cameras very straightforward. “It’s
the best user interface I’ve ever seen, from the
end user’s point of view. It’s very intuitive,” Brian
said of MOBOTIX’ new VMS (Video Management
Software). “It performs perfectly and is very
easy to use for the 3 main tasks that any end
user will want: how to view live footage; how to
see what happened at some point in the past;
and how to give evidence of an incident.” Now,
where previously security staff had to go to the
server room and arduously search through hours
of footage, they can perform this from their
office computer with ease. The outstanding
MOBOTIX search facility (up to 60 times high
speed playback), along with other excellent
analysis and event monitoring functionalities,
the VMS makes event searching simple.

Beyond security
The system goes beyond securing assets and
premises, to be an integral part of operations.
Reliability is an absolute priority. “At any time
we could be re quested to supply video footage
relating to an incident or delivery, which could
have been some time ago,” Steve explains. Failure
to be able to prove what had occurred in a
dispute with a customer can be very costly.
Fortunately, MOBOTIX cameras are extremely
reliable “I can honestly say I’ve never had a
camera failure in any of the MOBOTIX cameras
we’ve installed,” Brian says, “But with storage
devices that can happen, which is why we have
built in plenty of redundancy into the NAS where
the recordings are stored.”
A reliable and flexible system
Within a logistics setting, the consequences of
damage or loss to premises and stock can be
catastrophic. A security system, which allows
both the monitoring of business processes and
guarantees the availability of historical footage, can
help companies avoid expensive compensation
claims. Indeed it is an invaluable tool for risk
management, compliance enforcement and
dispute resolution. It creates a verifiable audit
trail that can actually save money by reduc-
ing insurance premiums. Thanks to MOBOTIX
technology and the integrated system which
Auckland Security Cameras have installed, Bolloré
now have a flexible and future-proof security
solution. One which provides excellent image
quality and reliability at an affordable price.
